Visual differentiation of Reader and Writer

I wanted to put forward an idea to help to differentiate between readers and writers on the canvas to avoid the need for bookmarks or lots of annotation to describe the data container's sourcedestination. It doesn't need to be as overt as my dodgy Photoshop skills suggest but along these lines:

It could also be added to FeatureReadersWriters though that would likely be much harder as it would need to be more dynamic.

Anyway, just wondered what people think?

I think it's a brilliant idea! But could it be a potential copyright issue, or would it be considered fair use? I'm guessing that lots of those formats are registered trademarks and whatnot.

I agree, it could be an issue and onerous if Safe have to gain permission to use the logos... I was with a customer today though who also raised the lack of visual differentiation of FeatureTypes as an issue. I guess the argument is that there's nothing stopping a user from being more inventive with their use of bookmarks and annotation.
